What really grosses you out?

[stashbin]

There are several things that gross me out. Some of them are obvious things but some are things that shouldn't but do for some reason. Some obvious things for me are:
snot
vomit
farting
burping

Some not so obvious:
dirty fingernails
dirty toenails
drinking milk after someone
breastfeeding (I know that's weird and no offense for those who do it but it grosses me out for some reason)
the female boxes in the restroom

Is there something weird that grosses you out?

Having someones bare feet touch me seriously grosses me out.

Kids and their loose wiggly teeth.

But on a gross side note, I love ear wax. I would love to be able to clean ears for a living. Yep I am sure that just grossed most of you out.

Hearing or seeing someone sneeze without covering their mouth....barf! I've been known to holler out "yuck!" as soon as I hear it.

 

[Conservative Hippie]

Bones. I can't looking at bones or meat that is still on the bone.

Also loose teeth/teeth falling out. I have no idea how I am going to get through my kids losing their baby teeth.

ahhh!!! me too!!!!! When DH does this to me it skeeves me out. And he totally does it on purpose

Now that I have DD, things that used to gross me out don't anymore. Poop and snot are a breeze

Condiments gross me out. Yes I'm weird. But mayonnaise and ranch dressing and things like that. blech! not ketchup though, I'm ok with that one.

Oh, and sweat. Yuck.

when people cough and it's that really yucky phlegmy kind of cough. blech!

man, this could go on and on! I can't wait to see what other people say...

We just entered this tooth stage with my oldest DD, and my DH has 100% responsibility for that. I can't do it, it gives me the heebie jeebies.

porta pottys.
I can't use them. If I know I am going somewhere, like a big festival or public event where they will be the only kind of bathroom, I just don't drink any liquids and "hold it" all day.

Those stand up toilets you see in some other countries like Greece, Japan, China...Again, I just can't use them. If that's my only option I just hold it.

People spitting in public. It's vile.

People who work out and then go somewhere like the grocery store in their sweaty workout clothes. A couple years ago, we went to a children's museum in Richmond, it just happened to be the same day as some marathon or 1/2 marathon...a lot of runners came into the museum with their kids afterwards, without changing or showering. Gross.

Yes I am grossed out by that. On an episode of Mythbusters they tried to make a candle out of earwax by collecting it from the people that worked on the show. I don't know if they were successful because I almost puked when they had it all in a container to melt it down.

I thought I was the only one! Loose and/or missing teeth really squick me out.

When DD was between the ages of 6 and about 10, I could barely look at her mouth most of the time. She almost constantly had either a loose tooth or a big hole where a tooth had just fallen out. Luckily, she never asked me to pull out a tooth for her or pulled one out in front of me- I probably would have run away screaming!

ALERT FOR TOOTH-PHOBICS: The new DisneyEarth movie, "African Cats", is wonderful, BUT the big male lion, Fang, has a broken tooth that hangs down on his bottom lip the whole time. Every time he roars, it flops up and down- I had to cover my eyes every time he came onscreen. Bleeeeecchh- I shiver just thinking about it!!

DH and the kids all know - I love ya all, but I CAN NOT do puke. I have been known to yell at the kids to hurry up, because I am fighting to hold it down and in until they are outta the way. I don't do the dog puke either.

The other really bad one that sends me running - nose bleeds. DS has a really bad habit of when he has one, he'll be pinching off his nostrils, but every once in awhile he'll let loose and suck/snort thru his nose, sucking all that blood and snot back into his nasal cavity and then swallows, instead of spitting it out. Makes me hurl every time. It's gotten to the point, where I refuse to be around him when he gets one. Thank god he's 16 and can pretty much take care of them himself.

"It is possible to make a usable candle out of earwax.
busted

The Build Team collected wax from Tory’s ears and ignited it alongside paraffin and beeswax, two common materials used for candles. The earwax burned with some sparking and sputtering, whereupon the entire MythBusters crew and other volunteers were called in to provide more wax. When the team made this into a candle and lit it alongside a paraffin candle, the earwax candle burned very poorly and soon went out. They attributed this result to the fact that the material did not melt smoothly as did the paraffin, which could then easily travel up the wick to burn in the flame.

(This myth is based on a scene in the movie Shrek.)"

The texture of brain matter. I just get the ooogies thinking about it. yuck

Feet
Bones in meat (I prefer boneless everything)
rodents/mice - saw a mouse in our kitchen once and was scared to walk in there for several days .....

 

[Pixiedust34]

I don't like anyone touching my feet. I have never had a pedicure, and no desire to get one done. A foot massage would be torture. LOL I had to see a podiatrist a couple of years ago, and I loathed it.

I know no one likes baby's diapers, but baby's diapers have caused me to vomit because the stench churns my stomach so much. Vomit has caused me to vomit. My tolerance for poo and vomit is not good at all.

I've never pulled a kid's tooth, either. That's also gross.

 

[RunningGirl]

So glad I don't have to think of myself as a freak anymore - bare feet touching me grosses me out too!

Chewed gum - either placed on something or if I can see it as you are chewing it.

Watermelon seeds. Thank goodness for seedless watermelons! I don't think I could enter a watermelon seed spitting contest even if the prize was a million dollars.

 

[disneyfans95]

Wow, all the bare feet ones..

My wife and I always have our bare feet touching while on the couch and stuff. Heck we rub each others feet to help relax each other.

Who knew about feet.. Never meet anyone that had that "hang up"...

Is there something weird that grosses you out?

So basically, you are grossed out by bodily functions?

I am just kidding you.


I would have to agree with dirty fingernails and dirty toe nails.

Snakes. If one touched me I'd probably scream like a little girl.

Not crazy about vomit either. If I think I am going be sick, I'll try anything humanly possible to avoid it.

 

[mhsjax]

Spit. It makes me ill. I have a hard time spitting out my own toothpaste.
Coral, that is just the nastiest looking stuff. I break out in goosebumps just looking at pic of it.

Loose teeth. My kids are pretty much past that stage. I told them that they were on their own for that one.

Oh, and people that chew with their mouth open. They look like cows chewing their cud.

 

[friend&relation]

Not much grosses me out, except the sight of people eating on trains and other public places.
Dont ask me why, but the speed they eat, open mouthed, chomping or slow drawn out gumming of food is enough to make me give up eating forever.
The culprits are usually alone and devouring junk food, posting it into their mouths in a zombie-like daze.

I know we all have to eat but its still gross.
Strangely it doesnt bother me seeing people eat in a restaurant or at home.

What grosses me out: other people.
